eBay metal arch spats

Anyone fitted the metal spats on eBay? Opinions/experience? The ones I've seen seem to be painted metal. Cheers

Never fitted them, but some wheel arches are hit by the sliding door, so they need to be slim.

Yup, they actually look pretty good. Ignore the fitting instructions, they make no sense, just loop a single piece of fitting 'strip' back on itself.

i saw a bongo today at georges place with them fitted, didnt look too bad really, they are a good fit but do tend to look like a 1985 big beamer in brixton. they fit tight so will not foul the sliding door.

Thanks. I'm thinking of the black versions. Feedback on these looks pretty good so I think I will take the plunge... If I do, I'll post photos.

I think everybody has sniffed at these at one point lol

even me

you could always do 30 odd quid and just go for a front or rear pair

if not to your taste - stick them on here at a bargain price and only loose half

im more interested in the rear arches - as ive had mine cut out and renewed etc

and the guy wouldn't tell me what they were - I might end up with half trim not actually sitting correctly :oops:

someone hurry up and buy them lol

have I just sold them to myself ? lol #-o

Will take pics. They are slim, not the ' bulbous' type, and look good, I think.
